I started querying agents for my novel this week and this tip was just what I needed to hear. As well as encouraging me, it prompted me to thank everyone around here who has offered a friendly helping hand as I begin to navigate the swamp. I'm still just a greenhorn, puttering along with my polished leather boots and crisp ironed khaki shorts, but the willingness to help me find my own treasure has been sincere and abundant. Personally, I hope that we all find our own treasure along the way and come out of the swamp crusty and muddied but satisfied with the journey.
